I mean the Maple Leafs fans Kevin. I feel bad for them. Take it easy guy.

I don't know how he feels. I'm sorry.

The Bruins longest playoff drought in recent memory is 2 seasons. Maple Leafs have been waiting for 7 seasons. I can't relate to that. Sorry Halladay.

Add on the possibility that there might be no season, and the previous lockout. That could be 9 seasons (8-9 years) without any meaningful hockey playoffs for them. I feel bad for them.

that's why i said "not anymore" b/c we won 2 years ago...but before that we all knew how it felt....

I still wouldn't have known then. It's a pretty long playoff drought for such a strong market with passionate fans. I honestly can't imagine the B's not making the playoffs 7 seasons in a row or 8-9 years as I've stated earlier.

I think the fans in Toronto should be furious. They generated so much revenue for the league despite having a losing franchise. Instead of Toronto's ownership sharing that wealth with the league, they choose to not honor the players contracts & to not allow NHL hockey to continue until the players contracts are breached.

Well the image he posted was "waiting for a cup" and Bruins fans had waited a long time to win a cup, i didn't mean we know how he feels not making the playoffs?

Do you even understand what revenue sharing is?

Are you sure we're looking at the same image?

They’re both willing to go to 50-50 and there’s a discrepancy on how long it takes to get there. The players want their existing contracts to be honored.

You seriously believe it's just 50/50? you have a lot to learn. It's not that simple, not even close.

Maybe it makes more sense (my joking around about knowing how he feels)

Bettman stated it was a 50/50 across the board. The NHLPA's 3rd counter offer stated they would agree to his 50/50 immediately if existing contracts be honored in full. 87 per cent of current contracts would count against the cap. The remaining 13 per cent would draw their salary from a separate pool that does not count against the players’ share of revenue.
Along with 50/50, the players agreed to all of the other parts of the offer.

Bettman was given the power to fine any owner or team official as much as $1 million for divulging internal league matters. The owners were not unified behind Bettman in the previous lockout, at one point they defeated his proposal for a settlement, in January 1995 he was forced to strike a deal short of the salary-cap goal.
Owners are forbidden to discuss negotiations. It's the Hardline owners driving this lockout.

This is all you need to know from that article and how reputable it is:

The Winter Classic.

It may or may not get cancelled today

Gee, thanks Ek.

NHL plans to contact Melnyk over lockout comments
"I'm extremely disappointed like any fan of where we are, we should be playing hockey by now. Everybody can finger point all they want but at the end of the day I don't think anybody cares who's at fault, all they know is we're not playing hockey."Senators owner
